Refund & Cancellation Policy
HEPTADEV Ltd — the operator of SchoolNet Global.
Effective date: 26 June 2026
1. Purpose
This Refund & Cancellation Policy (“Policy”) sets out the terms under which HEPTADEV Ltd (“HEPTADEV”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) processes refunds and cancellations for payments, transactions, and services made through our platform. By using our services, customers and merchants agree to the terms of this Policy.
2. Scope
This Policy applies to all payments processed through HEPTADEV's platform, including but not limited to:
- Card and mobile money payments
- Bank transfers and bulk payments
- Payment links generated on behalf of merchants
- Subscription or recurring billing arrangements, where applicable
3. Cancellation of Transactions
3.1 Before a Transaction is Completed
A transaction may be cancelled free of charge at any time before it has been authorised or settled. Once a payment instruction has been submitted and confirmed by the payer, it cannot be cancelled.
3.2 After a Transaction is Completed
Completed transactions cannot be unilaterally cancelled by HEPTADEV. Any reversal of a completed transaction is subject to the refund provisions in Section 4 and the cooperation of the receiving merchant or party.
4. Refund Eligibility
Customers may be eligible for a refund where:
- A payment was made in error or was duplicated;
- A transaction was unauthorised and reported promptly;
- Goods or services paid for were not delivered by the merchant as agreed;
- The merchant has approved and authorised the refund request.
Refund requests relating to the quality, delivery, or fulfilment of goods and services remain subject to the policies of the merchant from whom the goods or services were purchased. HEPTADEV facilitates the payment processing and refund mechanism but is not responsible for the underlying merchant-customer relationship.
5. Refund Process & Timelines
- Submit a refund request via info@heptadev.com or the designated support channel, including the transaction reference, date, and reason for the request.
- HEPTADEV will acknowledge receipt of the request within 2 business days.
- Where merchant approval is required, HEPTADEV will liaise with the relevant merchant to confirm the request.
- Approved refunds will be processed within 10–45 business days, depending on the originating payment method and the policies of the issuing bank or mobile money operator.
- Refunds will be issued to the original payment method or account used for the transaction, wherever possible.
6. Non-Refundable Items
The following are generally not eligible for refund:
- Transaction or processing fees charged by HEPTADEV, unless the transaction itself was made in error by HEPTADEV;
- Payments for services already fully rendered and accepted by the customer;
- Refund requests submitted after the applicable claim window has expired (see Section 7).
7. Claim Window
Refund and dispute requests must be submitted within 30 calendar days of the original transaction date. Requests submitted after this period may not be processed, except where required by applicable law or card network rules.
8. Disputed Transactions & Chargebacks
Where a customer raises a dispute or chargeback directly with their bank or card issuer, HEPTADEV will cooperate with the relevant financial institution and merchant to investigate the claim, in line with applicable card network and regulatory requirements.
9. Changes to this Policy
HEPTADEV may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, payment partners, or applicable regulation. Updates will be communicated through our official channels and will apply to transactions made after the effective date of the revised Policy.

11. SchoolNet Global Subscriptions
The following terms apply specifically to subscriptions to SchoolNet Global, the school management platform operated by HEPTADEV. They supplement the sections above; where there is any conflict for a SchoolNet subscription, this section prevails.
Billing model
SchoolNet Global is billed per active studentfor the cycle you choose — monthly, termly, or yearly. The amount on every invoice reflects your school's active-student count at the time of billing. Prices are in Rwandan Francs (RWF) and exclusive of any taxes that may apply.
Free trial
Eligible schools start on a free trial (14 days by default). No payment is taken during the trial, and you may cancel any time before it ends without being charged. When the trial ends, an invoice is issued based on your active-student count; continued use requires that invoice to be paid.
Renewals & reminders
Subscriptions renew at the end of each cycle until cancelled. An invoice is issued for each period and is due by the renewal date; we send reminders before and around the due date. If an invoice remains unpaid past the grace period, access may be suspended until payment is made.
Cancellation
School administrators can cancel from the Billing page in their dashboard, or by contacting info@heptadev.com. Your plan stays active until the end of the period already paid for and simply does not renew afterwards. Cancelling does not, by itself, refund the current period.
Subscription refunds
Refunds for SchoolNet subscriptions follow Sections 4–7. Duplicate charges, billing errors on our side, and charges taken after a timely cancellation are eligible; periods already substantially used are generally non-refundable. Mobile-money payments (MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, or bank via AzamPay) are refunded to the original paying account, and the operator may take additional time to reflect a reversal.
